2012 PORSCHE BOXSTER sport mode

As with the cars we create, all our after-
market accessories undergo rigorous
testing during their development. From
design through to approval, we thoroughly
scrutinise important properties, from
safet y to performance and from fitness
for purpose to durability. After all, they
are more than just accessories, they are
part of a harmonious overall concept –
your Porsche. The same applies to one of the highlights
in our range: the 20 -inch SportTechno
wheels painted in GT Silver Metallic. The
sizes of the wheels and t yres have been
maximised so that they finish flush with
the body of the car and give it an even
more imposing appearance. As a mark

of refinement, the spokes and rim have a
highly polished surface finish. The wheel
centres with full - colour Porsche Crest are available with a GT Silver Metallic paint
finish.
Whether you wish to enhance its perfor
-
mance, refine its st yle or add comfort
features, it is never too late to give your
Porsche an extra personal touch.
Whichever Tequipment products you ask
your Porsche Centre to fit, your Porsche will always be the masterpiece that the
developers in Weissach envisaged it to be.
For peace of mind, you can rest assured
that your original warrant y will not be
affected.

you and sheer excitement in front of you.
Fortunately, even the youngest Porsche
enthusiasts can share your enjoyment
thanks to Porsche child seats.
